By the time Fabian Gonzalez stepped into the circle for his final throw, he already knew he had won. He still wanted to put an exclamation point on his big victory and even requested the crowd around him get involved.

“I knew I had it in the bag, so I just wanted to leave it all out here,” said the Southern Regional sophomore, who captured the state discus crown with a throw of 184 feet, 9 inches at the NJSIAA Meet of Champions in South Plainfield on June 19.
